Antibiotics (visible here as a halo around the white pads) are the most important weapons in the fight against pathogens (white stripes). A decreasing number of such agents are effective against multi-resistant bacteria. 21.02.2013

The antibiotic offensive

Ever more bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics, and the supply of new drugs against dangerous microbes is failing to keep pace. A new EU research consortium is hoping to change this state of affairs.
At the new CBP biorefinery research centre processes are being developed to extract chemicals from biomass raw materials for use in industry. German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel was present for the inauguration of the facility. She was joined by the prime minister of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff and Fraunhofer Association president Reimund Neugebauer (first on right). 04.10.2012

Chancellor inaugurates Leuna biorefinery centre

Unusual alliances for the biobased industry

At the ACHEMA in Frankfurt, there was a clear trend towards bio-based industry, with a focus in particular on biorefineries. Three strategic alliances for industrial biotechnology can now look forward to multi-million-euro support.
On the path to the bioeconomy: the federal government is providing support for growing numbers of research projects in industrial biotechnology. Pictured here, a 5000-litre fermenter at BASF. 28.03.2012

Federal government: Increasingly important role for white biotechnology

With the assistance of federal government support strategies, industrial biotechnology is taking on an increasingly important role. This is underlined by the response to a brief parliamentary enquiry from the SPD fraction in the Bundestag.

2012 Leibniz Prize goes to five bioscientists

Five top researchers in the life sciences are among the winners of the 2012 Leibniz Prize. A neurophysiologist and a systems biologist from Berlin, a biochemist in Martinsried, and two immunologists from Bonn will share the prize, worth a total of 2.5 million euros.
This year, the Science Council will be approving new university buildings with a total value of 462 million euros. 23.07.2011

Science Council: 462 million euros for new research buildings

Every year, the Science Council appraises research buildings planned for construction at universities in Germany. Biotechnology is particularly well represented this year, making up seven of the 16 projects put forward for funding.
What biotechnological innovations will be required in the future? And where is there a pressing need for research? Questions such as these were at the foreground of the annual congress for the strategic process ‘Next Generation of Biotechnological Processes’. 15.07.2011

The biotechnology of tomorrow: The next stage in the strategic process

What will the biotechnology of the future look like? What steps in research and development will be required before this can be achieved? These are the kinds of questions being posed by the strategic process Biotechnology 2020+, which was launched by the Federal Ministry of Research in 2010. The recent second Annual Congress took a first stock of the process.
